The two went back to the noodle shop, squeezed together. Sui Sui was looking out through the crack of the door. Seeing them coming back, she hurriedly ran to get dry towels for them, and continued to hide behind the crack of the door. Give it to the little girl first, let her carry it to the kitchen, then go back to the room with Ji Hong to wipe and change clothes.

Yu Jinnian tore off his hair and dried himself indiscriminately, but when he turned his head, he saw that Ji Hong's long hair was almost dripping, and half of his shoulders were completely wet. Some feet are cold and clammy.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he helped Ji Hong change his clothes, and when he peeled off the wet clothes, Yu Jinnian's fingers inevitably touched the other's skin, and it was soaked with water, as if he had applied a layer of grease, white and slippery. Obviously the body wasn't very hot, but Yu Jinnian shrank back when he touched it, as if he had been scalded.

With his back turned to him, Ji Hong asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yu Jinnian suppressed the strange hesitation in his chest, hurriedly peeled off his dirty clothes, took out a set of dry and clean clothes and put them on Ji Hong, "Put them on quickly, it won't be good if you catch a cold later .”

Ji Hong lowered his head slightly, and the disheveled hair slid down along the shoulder line. The small piece of skin on the back of the neck was hidden or revealed between the soft hair. It is covered with a thin layer of soft and tough flesh, and when you look down, you can still see one or two rounded ridges at the base of the neck.

He is still so skinny, he is obviously the son of a rich family, how can he be like this? Yu Jinnian glanced at it for a few times, feeling uncomfortable and didn't know where to put his eyeballs. Fortunately, Ji Hong finally fixed his collar, and the secret that was not often seen by people was covered, and he could never see it again. up.

"Jin Nian, Jin Nian?"

When Yu Jinnian was called back to his senses, he let out an ignorant ah, blinked his eyes a few times in a panic, and then saw Ji Hong holding a handkerchief, looking back at himself, and asked softly, "Can you wipe my hair for me?" ?”

"Oh, good." Yu Jinnian took the towel and asked him to sit on the round stool with his back facing.

Ji Hong looked very obedient and didn't move at all. A handful of black hair flowed through his fingers like satin, slipping so much that Yu Jinnian had the illusion that he couldn't grasp it. He held the end of the hair in one hand, and slowly wiped it off the top of the man's head with a cloth towel in the other, while loosening it with his fingers from time to time. with a tense scalp. After brushing against the top, Yu Jinnian stretched out his hand to catch the hair on Ji Hong's chest.

Because his back was facing and there was a large piece of hair covering him, his vain hands did not grab a few hairs, but touched Ji Hong's Adam's apple, and then the throat ball rolled up and down between his fingertips, and Yu Jinnian's heart ached. With a sudden jump, the fingertips curled up guiltily, and the hard nails slashed across Ji Hong's neck.

Then Ji Hong gave a hoarse and very brief "ah".

Yu Jinnian hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Sorry, did I scratch you?"

Ji Hong raised his hand to cover his throat, and said ambiguously, "Well... maybe so."

"Ah? What does it mean? Maybe, let me see." Yu Jinnian turned to him, bent over and brushed away Ji Hong's hair, seeing that Ji Hong was still clutching that place, he stretched out his hand to pick it up, "Where is it? I'll see."

He tried so hard to push Ji Hong's fingers away, but he didn't see half of the scars, but heard Ji Hong's chuckle above his head.

Yu Jinnian gritted his teeth angrily, thinking that this man looks so good, but he is not honest at all! Then he suddenly raised his head to stare at him, but Ji Hong was also looking at him without blinking. Because the eyelids were drooping and the black eyes were covered for half a round, the color of the eyes was extremely dark, and between the shadows of his hair, he The outline of the whole face is getting deeper... It seems that it is not the same as usual. At this moment, Ji Hong's gaze is so captivating that Yu Jinnian wants to move away, but he can't move. He suddenly feels that his throat is dry, so he can't speak. Gan: "You... lied to me."

"No, take a closer look." Ji Hong replied nonchalantly, and held the boy's hand, leading him to touch it carefully again.

As soon as Yu Jinnian touched it with his fingers, his Adam's apple moved again, like some living thing. He stared blankly, and Ji Hong suddenly snorted "Huh?" from his nasal cavity, the sound trembled along the bones to Yu Jinnian's hand, trembling until all five of his finger bones were brittle, and he couldn't use his strength.

"It's so far away, how can we see clearly." Ji Hong pulled him closer and asked, "Can we see clearly?"

Yu Jinnian was close to him, not to mention any injuries, he could even see the hairs on Ji Hong's chin and the light lines on his lips. The man's lips were slightly thin, but his nose was tall. The five sense organs raised their eyes, and inadvertently looked into Ji Hong's eyes—there was a strong smile in those eyes.

There was only a short distance between the two of them, Ji Hong lowered his voice, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, and said, "See clearly this time?"

"..." Yu Jinnian immediately realized that he had been tricked again, and turned into anger from embarrassment. He turned his head and took the hair band that he had removed from the table, quickly wrapped it around Ji Hong's neck twice, and tied a bow on the side, with the word After a pause, he said, "You can see clearly! The injury is very serious! Don't move, I'll put a bandage on you!"

Ji Hong didn't want to move either, Ren Juvenile decorated his neck with a hairband, and then he looked like a irritated rabbit, bared his teeth at him, and jumped out.

What Yu Jinnian used to discourage him was the duck-egg blue headband that Ji Hong gave him. He liked it quite a bit, and he hadn't enjoyed wearing it yet. It's just that he ran out, but he can't go back to ask for it... Anyway, the man will definitely untie it by himself, and then he will secretly take it back when he sleeps at night. Tie up and go to the kitchen to cook.

Taking out the hoof from the basin, Yu Jinnian patted it and hummed, "You're better!"

He boiled a pot of water, first separated the skin and meat of the hoof, removed the bones, blanched the blood, and then marinated the hoof with soy sauce, rice wine, green onions, ginger, and peppercorns. When the water is boiled, grab two or three star anise and put it in the pot, then put the peeled pig skin into the pot—the hooves bought back are already thick and hair-free, but there are still some residual hairs on the skin that have not been removed. There is no particularly good way to get rid of the remaining hairs. It can only be boiled in boiling water and then pulled out one by one.

The most troublesome thing about making hoofs is hair removal, because it consumes the most patience, but this is the most important step. Although these small hairs look inconspicuous, they affect the taste quite a lot. Imagine when you have a hair in front of you. The beautiful elbow in red sauce, if you sip it down and get a bristle in your mouth, how much will it affect your mood

Yu Jinnian handled the pigskin patiently, put it aside to let it cool slightly, then went to find a piece of clean and permeable thin cloth and a roll of hemp rope.

The dish he is going to cook is called "Yunmeng Meat with Tangled Flowers". It sounds very poetic. Before eating this dish, people can feel the grandeur and elegance it brings, and it adds fragrance to the mouth. It seems that with such a small sip, you can absorb the spiritual energy from all over the world, entangle with flowers and dream with clouds.

If the diners bring their own gold plates and chopsticks, live in the pavilions and pavilions, listen to silk and bamboo music, and the graceful girl presents this dish, and then feeds the dish with her slender jade fingers, maybe it can really taste some Yunmeng flavors. meaning to.

If not, return to reality and calmly accept its other name in this mundane world, and it is the most well-known one—Jiangcuohua.

That's right, this dish is actually just an ordinary sauced elbow flower, because after the dish is finished, you can see the cloud-like winding pattern when cut horizontally, and it is also one of the famous banquets, so it can't be called sauced elbow. Such a vulgar name, so the literati gave it the fairy name of "Yunmengrou with flowers" to make it elegant.

Yu Jinnian spread out the processed pigskin on the table, wrapped the hoof meat marinated in wine sauce into it evenly, wrapped it tightly, rolled it into a cylindrical shape of about the same thickness at the front and back, and wrapped it tightly with cloth, Tie up with twine.

Start another pot, put bay leaf, star anise, fennel, ginger slices, scallion and other things into the pot, as well as rice wine sauce flavor, add a little sugar, then put the wrapped elbow in, after the high heat boils, turn to low heat Cook slowly for an hour, taking care not to let the pot dry out from time to time.

When the pot was covered and the soup started to cook, the rain outside seemed to be a little lighter, and it was hanging under the eaves like a broken thread. Amidst the ticking sound, Yu Jinnian suddenly heard a few thumping sounds, at first he didn't pay attention to it, but after a while, Another flutter.

He followed the abnormal noise and looked over, and in the corner between a pot-bellied pottery altar and the wall, a pair of green lights suddenly flashed.

Yu Jinnian was startled by that thing, and that thing was also startled by Yu Jinnian, the two of them turned their heads and ran wildly at the same time, but they ran in the same direction, the thing bumped into his leg, and Yu Jinnian's foot was not paying attention. , stepped on the tail.

"Meow!"

Yu Jinnian was stunned by the tragic cry, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small kitten the size of a palm. It was covered in dust, its fur was stuck together by rain and mud, and its nose was even blacker. It's like being dotted with ink.

The milk cat's tail was stepped on, and the golden cat's eyes stood up in shock. It slid back to the corner, bent over and licked its tail. After two licks, it sneered at Yu Jinnian, and its fur exploded.

Yu Jinnian poked his head and looked carefully at the back of the jar. It was a corner that was rarely cleaned. Inside, he found a few small bones, unfinished dregs, and a few pieces of Remnants of cloth. This little thing comes and goes so swaggeringly, it seems to be a regular visitor, and has long used this place as a base.

No wonder, the kitchen is slightly warm and there are so many delicious food, if he was a cat, he would also like it here.

Yu Jinnian took a small shrimp and wanted to coax it out, but the little milk cat looked up, sneered, and retracted again. So he took another one, put it on with a thread, and dangled it above the corner. The cat looked up and sniffed it, as if it was a little tempted.

Not long after, two more dried shrimps fell down.

The cat's eyes lit up, and it raised its paws to grab it.

Who would have thought that Xiami didn't catch it, but it was dragged out of the lair by the back of its neck.

The nape of the neck is an absolute forbidden area for all cats. No matter how disobedient the cat is, as long as it is pinched here, it will no longer dare to make trouble, only dare to curl up obediently.

Yu Jinnian pinched the nape of the kitten, looked at the little dirty cat carefully, and smiled in his heart, what problem can't be solved by a shrimp? If so, then two. Isn't that right, little one

The cat yelled at him with its eyes wide open, and a few pink and not-so-sharp claws protruded from its small fleshy claws, but the threatening sound of this little thing was heard in Yu Jinnian's ears, it was nothing more than "Mi woo, mi woo!" "Woo" softly.

"I didn't step on your tail on purpose, why are you so fierce?" Yu Jinnian should mention it as a hug, and gave those general shrimps that were used to lure the enemy to the kitten. Eat, the fuss stopped soon, and he looked at Yu Jinnian with his little head raised.

It said: "Mi?"

As if he could understand what it was saying, Yu Jinnian replied, "Me, me?"

The cat said again: "Mimimi!"

Yu Jinnian touched its head: "Squint."

"Chi..." A chuckle suddenly came from behind. Yu Jinnian looked back and saw Ji Hong was folding his arms and leaning on the porch with one leg slightly curled up. He looked in deeply and asked him relaxedly, "What did you all say? Let Ji listen too?"

Yu Jinnian stared at the obvious bow tie on his neck. He was angry for a while, but he didn't think much of it. Now it seems that the headband matched his fair neck, which reminded Yu Jinnian of some vulgar sex game. The corners of his mouth twitched and said "Why don't you take off that hair tie?"

"Huh?" Ji Hong raised his hand to touch the bow on his neck, and said worriedly, "This? This is Mr. Yu. You said that Mr. Ji was injured too badly, and he wanted to bandage the wound with me. Mr. Yu is not yours." Command, how dare Ji act rashly?"

Yu Jinnian thought in his heart: Bah, shameless! Then you don’t want to solve it in your life!

The author has something to say:

Ji Gongju: This bow is so pretty, I give it every year.

Niannian: = = (Can I say I don’t know him?)
